the purest lyrics come from the heart, and its these words that are able to change lives.

can i feel You in the rain?
abandon all i am to have You capture me again
let the earth resound with praise
can You hear as all creation lives
to glorify one name?

breathe on me
let me see Your face
ever i will seek You

cos all You are, is all i want, always
draw me close in Your arms
Oh God, i wanna be with You

its kinda amazing and i guess i never really realised it, but now that i think about it.. the only music that i can just really listen to over and over again are my christian albums, in particular my hillsongs. and.. i can remember the lyrics better than any other album i've ever listened to, and that kinda says a lot heh since i always pay attention to lyrics.

its just so overwhelming.. God always finds some way to find me everytime i turn my back against him, everytime i cast him aside and choose another path, another road. the road always seems to turn back to Him... and yet i always seem to find another path to choose, another way to diverge. but He never ever leaves me... regardless where i go.

i finally understand what ian meant when he talked about inspiration from God... at the time i thought that inspiration could come about from within, as in it can exist without God. but God's in everything, and true inspiritation has to come from Him. this might all sound v preachy.. but its the truth, and its never been easier for me to accept.

reconciling everything seems so simple, now that i really think about it. things might always seem difficult, and the going might get really tough, but the end is always worth the wait. and thats what makes it simpler than it seems. through God, everthing becomes easy. and that doesnt make it any less worth the while.

with faith, everything becomes clear.

one question that has always been bugging me lately... if you had a choice between God and your friends, which one would you choose. i'd always have chosen friends... until it just occured to me that... my friends are building my faith, and its God who has provided me with such great friends.

its not a choice when they're both on the same side. who says i cant have my cake and eat it too?

For You have been my hope, O Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth. Psalm 71:5
